SPICED BEEF KEBABS



Spiced Beef Kebabs image

One of my most vivid memories of going to college in Bombay was heading out with my friends late at night to eat kebabs. Once or twice a week, we'd drive to the south side of the city and enjoy a feast of hot, succulent pieces of seasoned beef, chicken, or lamb, served with thin flatbreads and fresh chutney. Shami kebabs are usually made with ground lamb or beef, dried herbs, and chickpea flour for the binding agent; they don't require skewers and are cooked in large flat-bottomed woks. This recipe is inspired by the shami kebabs. Serve them with pickled red onions, hot green chutney, or raita. When making kebabs (or even burgers, for that matter), I often prefer dried herbs because they contain very little to no water and are more potent in flavor than their fresh counterparts. Here the coriander enhances the heat of the chile peppers.

Time 2h40m

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound (455 grams) ground beef (15 percent fat)
1 cup (140 grams) finely diced yellow onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup (60 grams) chickpea flour
2 Thai chiles, seeded, if desired, and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
One 1-inch (2.5-centimeters) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, coarsely ground
1 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) neutral-tasting vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Red Onions with Coriander (recipe follows)
1 cup [100 grams] thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1/2 cup [120 milliliters] apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the beef, onion, egg, chickpea flour, chiles, garlic, ginger, lime juice, cayenne, coriander, mint, cinnamon, sage, dill, and salt. Divide into fourteen equal parts and shape into 1-inch [2.5-centimeter] disks.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the kebabs in batches, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Transfer the kebabs to a serving plate, garnish with the cilantro, and serve with the pickled red onions.
  • Put the onions and cilantro in a clean 1 pint [480 milliliters] canning jar with a tight-fitting lid. In a small, dry cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet, toast the coriander seeds over medium-high heat, until fragrant, swirling the seeds occasionally so they toast evenly, 30 to 45 seconds. Toss the seeds into the jar with the onions. Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Seal the jar and shake a few times. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Makes 1 cup (220 grams).

SPICED LAMB KEBABS



Spiced Lamb Kebabs image

Adapted from a recipe in Michelle Trute's 'cooking with conscience'. All the recipes in this book are low fat, low-moderate GI and easily prepared. This recipe is moderate GI and low in fat. She includes no salt in this recipe but I have included sea salt below as optional as I know for many this is an essential ingredient. If rosemary branches are unavailable, use wooden skewers soaked in water and add rosemary to the lamb just before threading it onto the skewers. I have also included sage as I love rosemary and sage together. Michelle Trute recommends marjoram, mint, rosemary and sage with lamb and recommends using herbs rather than salt. I have also posted Michelle Trute's Recipe #349024. 800g = just under 26 ounces.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time P1DT7h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

800 g lean lamb, cubed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
sea salt, to taste (optional)
dried rosemary, to taste if you are using wooden skewers instead of rosemary branches (optional)
sage, to taste (optional)
2 onions, diced large
1 sweet green peppers or 1 red sweet bell pepper, diced large
8 thick rosemary branches soaking in water (to be used as the skewers)
4 cups cooked couscous

Steps:

  • Combine lamb, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and ea ssalt (if using) in a bowl and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Sprinkle lamb with rosemary and sage (if using) and thread lamb, alternating with onion and bell pepper onto the rosemary branches (or wooden skewers).
  • Heat grill and cook the skewers on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until meat is cooked to your liking.
  • Let rest for 4 minutes then serve with couscous and yoghurt and dill sauce. The recipe for this is in Michelle Trute's first book which is out of print, My recommendation is to combine yoghurt with dill and perhaps include chopped green onions. She'd undoutedly recommend low-fat natural yoghurt. I wouldn't be able to resist using Greek yoghurt.
  • NOTE: To make your couscous more flavoursome, cook it in stock, and if you want it to be super-healthy, use a stock such as my Recipe #135453.

Tips:

  • To ensure the beef kebabs are cooked evenly, cut the beef into uniform pieces.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the beef to prevent tearing.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the beef, you can still make the kebabs, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • To prevent the beef from sticking to the skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook the kebabs over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
  • Turn the kebabs regularly to ensure they cook evenly.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce.
